Rita Keiper, an award-winning artist "whose work reflects the pervasive and changing moods of nature," will debut her latest pieces on April 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Women's Resource Center of Sarasota, located at 340 S. Tuttle Ave. in Sarasota, the Center has announced. The public is invited to a reception; refresh- ments will be served, a news release says. The show will run through June 25; it can be seen most weekdays from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the release adds. Keiper has exhibited widely in New Jersey and Florida, the release continues. Her works hang in many banks, offices and private collections throughout the United States, it notes. An art critic in Music and Arts Magazine wrote of Keiper, "This artist calls herself a landscape painter yet she is, to my way of thinking, an abstract expressionist. She establishes an atmospheric mood and superimposes a subject over it, thereby paint- ing nature with the frugality of palette akin to poetry. I find creativity, beauty and charm in Mrs. Keiper's paintings." KEIPER'S WORKS TO BE EXHIBITED AT WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER Blue Horizon by Rita Keiper.
